Our Story

Sup. I'm Max, one of the people behind DisConnect and it's parent company Before the Internet.

When I was 23, I took a fishing trip with my family and friends, and left my phone in my car. That's when the obsession started.

So then I got to thinking, maybe it is that damn phone... and while yes, that's true, there is also more to the story. Even without spending nearly as much time on my phone, I struggled to find novel and fulfilling ways to spend my time. So, out of a personal feeling of 'shit, I'm not living enough' that I know many young adults share, we have created the worlds first ever ScreenTime app that doubles as a localized activity hub. We're gonna buy back your time, and then give you ideas as to how to spend it.

We're inherently social creatures, we were never meant to be able to fill every waking moment of boredom with instant gratification. It's really, really easy now to spend copious amounts of time alone and still be entertained. It's now the norm for your baseline dopamine levels to be so high from constant hits that everything else feels grey. But I promise, from first hand experience, sitting on your couch and scrolling is not a good way to fill the void. Filling your calendar with novel shit with friends, families and strangers is. I hope we can be any sort of help in solving one of those core issues for you.
